Intervention and comparator
What each group received. Related peptides, analogs and combinations are never treated as the compound itself.
What the authors reported
As stated in the sources. This is the authors’ account, not Peptide Library’s assessment.
Adverse events
None reported. That is not evidence of safety, and how safety was monitored isn’t described.
The authors concluded (paraphrased): The authors found a strong correlation between MOTS-c levels and CAD. They suggest MOTS-c may help identify patients with CAD and allow early preventive treatment.
Peptide Library’s assessment
An automated assessment, made by AI separately from the authors’ conclusions and not reviewed by a person. How risk of bias is assessed.
Limitations
- other: MOTS-c was only measured as an endogenous biomarker and never administered, so no treatment effect can be inferred.
- abstract only: Only a truncated abstract is available; the p-value and the methods details are missing.
- confounding: Observational comparison of CAD+ and CAD- groups with no reported adjustment for confounders in the abstract.
- inappropriate population: Patients with stable angina, not adults with obesity, insulin resistance or diabetes.
- inappropriate endpoint: The study measured endogenous MOTS-c as a diagnostic biomarker. It did not test MOTS-c as an intervention, so it gives no efficacy or safety evidence.
No risk-of-bias assessment has been published for this study’s results.
Claims this study informs

These assessments describe published research. Records marked automated were produced by AI under the published methodology and have not been reviewed by a person; they can contain errors. None of this is medical advice, not a statement about any product’s safety for human use, and not a regulatory approval. Peptide Library’s vendor and partner relationships play no part in them (editorial independence).
